Abstract
The reactions of 150 hospitalized parasuicides to computerized assessm ent were evaluated. Most parasuicides preferred the computer interview to an interview with a doctor (52.3% vs. 17.4%). Preference for the c omputer was greater in patients with lower levels of self esteem and h igher levels of suicidal ideation and hopelessness. Computerized inter views may be a useful adjunct assessment procedure with parasuicides.
